Hi all,
I've got an unusual situation. I was getting an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when trying to create a web application which was a little concerning.
Although I've not got to the bottom of that yet I've discovered that the SharePoint Foundation Web Application service is "missing" when I go to the list of Services on Server in Central Admin. It's only a small farm (1 app and 1 web server) with the service running on the web server.
It must actually be running because the existing SharePoint sites are running, but obviously something's not right.
Has anyone ever seen this happen before?
Thanks.
